What are the contraindications to epidural anesthesia?

Mar 09, 2022

Contraindications to epidural anesthesia are as follows:

1. Anesthesia requires the cooperation of the patient first. Patients who cannot cooperate cannot do epidural anesthesia.

2. The dura is most prone to hypotension, so patients with severe hypovolemia and shock themselves are not recommended to do dural anesthesia.

3. Patients with abnormal platelet count function or abnormal coagulation function may form dural hematoma, so such patients cannot do epidural anesthesia.

4. For patients with infection at the puncture site, if an epidural anesthesia is used, an epidural abscess may occur, and epidural anesthesia is not suitable.

5. Patients with diseases of the central nervous system and nervous system, especially those with lesions of the spinal cord and spinal nerve root, may cause long-term paralysis after dural anesthesia.

6. If the patient has symptoms of intracranial hypertension before the operation, then doing dural anesthesia is also very risky, which is taboo.
